About Coldplay

Coldplay formed in London in late 1997. The band have gone on to become one of the most popular acts in the world, selling more than 100 million albums and releasing a long line of hits such as Yellow, Clocks, Fix You, Paradise, Viva La Vida, A Sky Full Of Stars, Hymn For The Weekend, Something Just Like This and My Universe.

The band’s record-breaking Music Of The Spheres World Tour, which began in 2022, is taking them to sold-out stadiums around the globe, with more than 9 million tickets already sold.

The tour is accompanied by a wide-ranging set of sustainability initiatives which include a show powered by 100% renewable energy in almost all locations; the world’s first tourable battery system; kinetic dancefloors allowing fans to help power the show; solar panels at every venue; incentives to encourage fans to travel by green transport; and one tree planted for every ticket sold.

The band recently gave an update on the sustainability initiatives, revealing that their current tour has so far produced 59% less CO2e emissions than their previous stadium tour in 2016/17, and that 7 million trees have already been planted (one for each concert goer up to the present day).

Their tenth album, Moon Music, lands on October 4, 2024. The first single from the album, feelslikeimfallinginlove, is out June 21, 2024.

Moon Music is Coldplay’s first album since 2021’s Music Of The Spheres, which spawned the US Number One single with BTS, My Universe, and was nominated for Album of the Year at the Grammy Awards. Music Of The Spheres has already accumulated more than four billion streams, with the band consistently among Spotify’s most popular artists worldwide.
